Copernicus is the European Union’s revolutionary areas, regional and local planning, agriculture, COPERNICUSCOPERNICU Observation and Monitoring programme, forestry, fisheries, health, transport, climate change, looking at our planet and its environment for the sustainable development, civil protection and tourism. ultimate benefit of all European citizens. PROGRAMME The development of the observation infrastructure Thanks to a variety of technologies, from satellites is performed under the aegis of the European Space e2v inside the Sentinel satellites in space to measurement systems on the ground, in Agency for the space component and of the European the and in the air, Copernicus delivers operational Environment Agency and the Member States for the in data and information services in six thematic areas: situ component. land, marine, , climate change, emergency management and security. e2v is contributing to the programme with high performance hyperspectral imaging sensors designed They cover a wide range of applications including to perform aboard a number of instruments on the environment protection, management of urban Earth observation satellites.
